Dallas is starving for centres. This works because seguin has potential to grow as he is only 21. Eriksson is on a great deal and a better player NOW but dallas is looking long term and seguin could be the answer long term.

Is there a kickstarter campaign for Jakub Kindl to never play another NHL game?

Making a big deal about Boston and Dallas trade? ... but how could the Wings swing something like this without just hurting themselves ... like if we were to trade for Ryan ... ok ... big immediate whoop, but what about 2-5 years from now when the "core" can't bear the weight? I'd rather have 1-2 more years of "we can make the playoffs, then we'll just see what happens" followed by "boy, we have a fresh core of players who can carry us to the next level and win it, rather than "BIG TRADE, HELL YEAH ... oh, wait ... what'd we give up? ..." and still have to fill those holes with an overpriced free agent when our remaining prospects aren't ready.
